SWEATER.

Application filed. May 3,

rlhe present invention relates to improvements in sweaters or knittedjackets, and the object is to provide an improvement in the form of acombined collar `and hood, which does not change the normal appearanceof the sweater or jacket when the collar is in its usual position. Atthe same time a hood is secured which will fit over and effectivelycover the head of the wearer, leaving his face exposed and yet bindingsnugly though comfortably about the face. i

The preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a perspective view of aportion of a sweater with the collar in, its lay-f.

down or usual position,

Figure 2 is a similar view of the hood in operative position on the headof the wearer,

Figure 3 is a detail perspective View showing the collar raised with thehood in its folded position,

Figure 4 is a view similar to Figure 3, but showing the hood piecepartly turned to its operative position,

Figure 5 is a vertical sectional view through the hood when in itsoperative position, asV illustrated in Figure 2,

Figure 6 is a detail sectional View through the collar and hood piecewhen in the position illustrated in Figure 1.

In the embodiment disclosed, the sweater or jacket may be of the usualconstruction, comprising a knitted body 7 with knitted sleeves S.Carried by the top of the body 7 is a collar, preferably composed of acentral upwardly flared knitted section 9 with rows of loops ruimingvertically, and side sections 1() composed of rows of loops runninghorizontally. This collar, as illustrated in Figure l, normally liesflat over the upper portion or back of the body 7 but can be elevated asillustrated in Figure 2 around the neck and rear portion of the bead ofthe wearer. Its rear margin is formed on a gen. erally convex curve asshown at 1l.

Carried by this collar 9-10 is a hood piece designated generally by thereference numeral 12. The hood piece has a generally convexedly curvedouter margin 13 corresponding to the curved margin 11 of the collar andsuitably seamed thereto. The inner margin of this hood piece is straightand is designated 14. The hood piece is of knitted material and themargin 14 is also formed of knitted material, the yarn thereof 1924.Serial N0. 710,895.

being preferably 'of liner quality than` the body'port-ion 12 and ofsmaller loops, making an elastic binding. Preferably the inner face ofthe hood piece is of fleecy material but the outer portion correspondsgenerally in color and form to the collar, as shown in4 yor loopedbeneath the collar. lThe sweater or jacketthus has a normal appearance.When it is desired to use the hood the collar is swung upward, asillustrated in Figure 4. The free, margin of the hood piece isV thenavailable and can be turned upwardly over.

the head where itwill assume the position `shown in Figure 2. A button15 on one sideV of the collar anda loop 16 for receiving the saine onthe other side of the collar at the ends of the hood piece serve toysecure the hood snugly beneath the chin. Due to the form of the collarand hood piece and the curved margins of the two parts which are securedtogether the hood will fit properly over the head and the elastic margin14 will draw the free edge of said hood inwardly so that it will lit.about the face of the wearer, as shown in Figures 2 and 5.

From the foregoing, it is thought that the construction, operation andmany advantages of the herein described invention will be apparent tothose skilled in the art without further description and it will beunderstood that various changes in the size, shape, proportion andininor details of construction may be resorted to without departing fromthe spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
